Rectourethral Fistula Repair is a surgical procedure to correct an abnormal connection between the rectum and the urethra, often caused by trauma during childbirth, surgery, or certain diseases like Crohn's disease. This condition can lead to symptoms like fecal incontinence, urinary tract infections, and discomfort.

The surgery involves closing the fistula and reconstructing the surrounding tissue to restore normal function. It is often performed through open surgery, but minimally invasive techniques may be used for smaller fistulas.

Postoperative care includes managing pain, monitoring for infection, and ensuring proper healing of the surgical site. Patients may need to undergo physical therapy or adopt a modified diet to support recovery.

Rectourethral fistula repair is essential for improving quality of life by restoring normal bowel and urinary function and preventing further complications like infection or incontinence.
